Quincy, is it because women don't have the emotional or social resources to deal with many rejections? How much rejection is it possible to stand before you give up? It seems to me that men have a jolly ol' boys network that keeps their spirits and hopes high. Centuries of support in every way. All one has to do is read a little Virginia Woolf, like A Room of One's Own, to see the whole picture. Sure things have changed for the better since then, but they haven't changed enough yet.
